This particular process is also known as blocking as far as I know (though in Japan they seem to use different terms); it’s not only limited to enemies, but it’s basically also used for environments and even main characters. The point being that during testing, you ideally want to spend as little time as possible on…

...I was ready to scream AAAAAAAAH!, but then the trailer shows... actual gameplay like the original game? No countdown timers? No Gacha? But still a mobile free-to-play?!

“Social Justice Warrior” I reckon, which in turn is basically just a weak insult for pretty much anything leaning a bit more to the left politically than they do.

Many, many, many people interpreted this as thinly-veiled threatening of a witness

Ooh! As a Dutchman I am quite glad to see a game make a mention to the Dutch Deltaworks, even if they don’t do so by name. Or do they? I haven’t played the game, so I only have that header GIF to go with.

Bahaha, and then we have Activision, who manages to sell 17 million copies of Black Ops 4 in 8 days, making it one of the best selling titles of 2018, and they STILL manage to call it a disappointment.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

Nice! Gonna play the hell out of this one! I only hope that by 2019 they don’t mean 31st of December kind of 2019. There are already way too many games I was looking forward to this year that keep delaying their release.

There’s a bunch that come to mind.

You are talking to the same kind of people who send death threats to Jason Shreier for reporting on a game delay. Unfortunately, it’s par for the course now.

Hahaha, does this guy actually think he is fooling anyone? These self serving bastards wouldn’t even take a bullet for their mum, so what makes them think we believe they would take a bullet for the most untrustworthy scumbag on the face of the planet?

However, affect can be used as a noun and effect can be used as a verb as well. Affect as a noun means a display of emotion and seems to be rather technical in nature. Probably won’t see that use a whole lot outside of academic papers and whatnot. Effect as a verb can mean “to bring about,” “to cause” or “to achieve.”…

Yeah, it is. I think the thing that is responsible is the Hatch act, which makes federal employees unable to engage in “political activity” while on their job. What that political activity includes is kinda vague and Googling it didn’t give me anything really conclusive, but yeah, basically the FAA can do that.

At first I was ready to dismiss your reply, but then you hit me with Grand Theft WAAAHto and I am like “dammit, I need this in my life.” And screw it, a bullethell with Nabbit sounds awesome too. YOU MADE ME SEE THE POTENTIAL OF THINGS THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

Sorry, sometimes I screw up the tone in my messages; it certainly wasn’t intended to be patronizing. It seems I have to reconsider my view on the whole modding scene here. Hope this new law doesn’t screw things up then.

I think I made it pretty clear I was assuming when I said “part of me wonders whether.” That being said, you prove me wrong on the modding part. I still kinda wonder just how big the modding scene is here compared to, say, the US. Is the last image the number of mod users/mod downloads and if so, is that number only…

Pretty sure it’s both, but I also reckon that what Western people would consider massive overreach is pretty much a non-issue for Japanese people, or at the very least something they don’t understand the implications of.

They should never show up. I mean, I know it will never happen, but just imagine the sheer amount of veins that will burst when media whore Trump’s “surprise” press briefing is attended by exactly zero people. It would be the most hilarious thing ever.

According to the employer, he just started, so it could be he simply started 1 week into the month, only getting 3 weeks that month. I had the same thing when I started work. Just my guess though.
